Help ith Count

 Hi All,

Can anyone please help me with below situation

Filed1, Field2

1,            AA;BB

2,           AA

3,           AA

4,           AA

5,           AA;BB;CC

6,           AA

I need count Filed2 and  I get Count(Filed2) = 6  but

I need to get Count(filed2) = 9 (counting BB for 1 and BB and CC for 5 which brings up count from 6 to 9)

Please help me to understand how can we do using Qlik?

 

Thanks

Thanks for your reply,

In doing so BB and CC will be in a separate filed, how will I get Count(filed2) = 9 ?

 

Thanks

hi 
no, you'll have only two fields Field1 and Field2 
but you'll create now rows in the table the table will look like this 

Field1,Field2
1,AA
1,BB
2,AA
3,AA
4,AA
5,AA
5,BB
5,CC
6,AA

One solution is..

tab1:
LOAD *, SubStringCount(Field2&';',';') As Cnt
;
LOAD * INLINE [
    Field1, Field2
    1, AA;BB
    2, AA
    3, AA
    4, AA
    5, AA;BB;CC
    6, AA
];

Left Join(tab1)
LOAD Sum(Cnt) As Total_Cnt
Resident tab1
;

You can do the count in the script as @Saravanan_Desingh  suggests, but I assume that you can use the substringcount straight into the object as well. 

=SubStringCount(Field2&';',';')
